Literacy Kicks Journalist Workshop

25th September 2025Joshua Meade

Thank you to Gareth from #LiteracyKicks #SportingHeritage #WomenInRugbyLeague for leading a Rugby League journalism workshop with our Y5/6 children! The children were immersed in the rise of women’s rugby league, due to the Hall of Fame 1996 Lionesses team! We were lucky to have Jill Adam a local inspirational role model who was an integral part of that team! The children wrote some awesome articles! #LovePlover

This week our focus of spelling will be ‘adding suffixes that start  with a vowel letter to words  with more than one syllable‘. Use the video below to get ahead in your learning!

Please bring in spelling work you do at home to your class teacher.

Perfectly Crew

16th July 2025Joshua Meade

Crew Meade,

We hope you like your child’s end of year gifts. It’s linked to one of our favourite books. Imagine if they keep it until they’re adults and can look back and smile at their time in F2, remembering they are perfect in their own unique way! Thank you Crew Meade for all your hard work and support this year! #LovePlover

Year 5&6 spelling bee- get ahead in your learning over the summer!

16th July 2025Miss Blackham

Next year, our lovely Year 5&6 pupils will participate in half-termly spelling bee’s in their crews. We will be kick-starting the first half-term with the above spellings. Every week, the children will be given a list of 10 spellings from the above list to learn ahead of their spelling test. Every time a child scores 7 out of 10 or above, they will have their name added to the spin the wheel. At the end of the half-term, at our spelling bee, we will spin the wheel and six children will have the opportunity to represent their crew. They will be given a further ten spellings from the list (ones they have already been tested on) and if they score seven or above on the day, they will be able to choose from one of our fantastic prizes: an Amazon voucher, a Stanley cup, a chocolate hamper, a sweet hamper or a sports hamper as well as further prizes which will be confirmed in the autumn term.

You have to be in it to win it so over the summer is a perfect opportunity to get ahead with your spellings!

If you go down to the woods today…….

15th July 2025Mrs Graves

You’re sure of a big surprise for Year 3 and 4!

Yesterday was the third and final event as part of this year’s National Literacy Trust Young Readers programme and we held the event at Sandall Beat Woods.

The children all chose their third free book and we went to the wood to enjoy reading and sharing our stories in the open air with nature all around us.

It was great to welcome parents and carers to the event and so lovely to see the children sharing the books with their family.

After a biscuit or two, we circled up, shared a story and completed the last community crew of the year.

We have felt so lucky to be selected to take part in the programme this year, and really hope we get the opportunity to do it again in the future.
